      7 year old King tiger model overhall, Before and after

      One of the first ever models i made and airbrushed when i got into modelling 7 years ago.

      In my opinion and honest friends it looked crap the camo was all wrong and the weatherig rubbish so i thought i would see what i could do with a rimse clean and respray. Still got more work to do on it and it currently has a gloss coat over it.

      Before









      After

      I have to admit that right now your original effort is way way better than anything I could achieve. The after pictures show a big improvement and I feel that if I can improve my skills by even half of what you have achieved then Ill be very happy.

      Well done, you have inspired me.

      Very Nice - I like the way how you have brought her back to life Paul! I do not know what it is about the ambush camouflage pattern but it really makes the King Tiger ........

      Ok a few more update photos, tank has now had an oil wash, chippinng/rust effect and dust and finally a matt varnish. I, didnt have much choice on the unit number on this tiger and its a famous tank which research shows wouldnt have had the dots on it but nevermind, after all its my model. Just got my commander to paint up and add some more stowage
